Il privilegio del Messale riformato. Roma e Venezia fra censura espurgatoria e tensioni commerciali

This article accounts the tense dialectic that arose in 1601 between the Roman Curia and the Venetian guild of printers over the publication and prohibition of a number of editions of the Missale Romanum printed in Venice from 1597. In so doing this essay offers insights over the work of both, publishers and censors. Moreover, it provides clues on a series of institutional dynamics that resulted in the legislation that the Venetian senate promulged in 1603 to reform the local printing industry.
